Sounds Like Nintendo Is Being Smart with Switch 2 - Next-Gen Console Watch
Ойындар
Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week Daemon is joined by IGN's Xbox podcast host, Ryan McCaffrey, and Podcast Beyond's Max Scoville to talk Nintendo Switch 2 rumors. Leaks from manufacturers have provided more details on what updates Nintendo's Switch 2 could have over the original. The leaks suggest magnetic joy-con, longer battery life, a larger and higher-resolution screen, and 4K output in docked mode. Plus, we go over last week's poll, and have a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.
And if you haven't heard, IGN Live is coming up fast! Tickets are now available for the event, which is taking place in LA on June 7th through the 9th. We’ll have celebrity panels, developer interviews, game demos and lounges, live recordings of our IGN Shows, exclusive merch, photo ops, and more. Scoop up a day pass or a 3-day VIP ticket at ign.com/live

@@Fate862 The Switch also marks the start of Nintendo officially investing in users' online accounts, as per their repeated business plan and investment in NSO. Backwards compatibility now favors the idea that they value a long lasting library. For old games on Switch, we've seen them drip-fed into NSO or as full-on remasters/remakes with a lot left to bring over.
Backwards compatibility on any console is not a feature, should be a given.
This should be an easy home run for Nintendo. Hall effect sticks. New wifi/Bluetooth hardware. 4k out dock, even if upscaled. Full backward compatibility with switch games. Even if its just digital. A little better than steamdeck specs. The rest doesn't really matter.
Cannot wait. Aesthetics wise also switch still looks sleek at the end of its life. Hope the form factor is just as nice looking.

Its just basically an upgraded switch so yes it will be "backwards compatible" if you should even call it that when all it is, is an upgraded switch. Better joycons, better resolution, more power. Nothing warrants it not being able to play switch games. Its still crap since it can't play my gamecube, wii, and all past console games because that would make it a real backwards compatible device. Nintendo will never do that. Most you get is just "you can still play switch games on this better switch".
How about let's just focus on 1080p in a hand held before we waste battery on 4k nonsense. The switch is often 540p and many games run like crap even at that low res. 4k on a tiny screen is just wasting resources. Focus on 1080p handheld, 1440p / upscaled 4k on TV output.

Yeah, they used to do stuff like that with old cartridge games. Like star fox had a chip in it that made the game more advanced, the 64 had the expansion packs for a couple games. Anything like that. Keep the hybrid, but make playing docked more worth jt for me
If the battery is better and backwards compatibility is the only upgrade then that alone is a success
Backwards compatibility is not optional, and the joycons need to be better quality. The magnet attachment would be nice to prevent damage on the rails.
If this isnt at least at par with the current Steam Deck, it will be problematic. When the original Switch was released it didnt have to compete with any Windows handheld. People have been commenting how Switch games barely go on sale unlike in Steam
What is this man Ryan on about? Nintendo has been champions of backwards compatibility for a while. GB>>GBC>>GBA>>DS>>3DS each were backwards compatible with the previous hardware. Consoles have a much worse history with Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U being the outliers. This notion of selling the same games to you "over and over" seems to be more of an issue with virtual console games which won't be an issue as I'm sure NSO's game library will transfer over to Switch 2.
They need to work out a way to get the dock to properly boost the spec independantly from the handheld, which should be left relatively low power for battery life and the small screen. Even if they charge seperately for a spec boosting dock, that's fine. Must be a way. The previous dock was mainly just useless lump of plastic that a cheap adapter could better.

What's Ryan talking about? Nintendo was the only console doing backward compatibility for a long time. Gameboy Advance was backwards compatible with Gameboy games. DS was backwards compatible with GBA games. 3DS was backwards compatible with DS games. Wii was backwards compatible with Gamecube games. Wii U was backwards compatible with Wii games...has he forgotten that? Lol Ryan being a Microsoft fanboy thinking Xbox were pioneers in it😅😅😅

He was likely referring to Nintendo's practice of their non-portable systems not being backwards compatible with each other. The Wii was the first Nintendo home console to be backwards compatible with games from the previous system, followed by the Wii U. On the portable side of things, they did things different. GB->GBC->GBA->DS->3DS, each was compatible with the system before it, and in the GBA's case, two systems before it.

Backwards compatibility doesn't count if you only do it with the previous console. XBOX does it with games from ALL previous consoles. PS3 was compatible with PSONE and PS2 games back in the day and with PS4 it all went bleh... and PSN now has roms abailable to buy, but you can't even use your own old discs so it doesn'0t fully count as well... If you're working on backwards compatibilty, you must do it right, with all your previous consoles in mind, or maybe just getting a PC and emulating games, because that works flawlessly and it's the only way to preserve and play nice the Nintendo games.

A lot of it is circumstantial based on the hardware diversification and remaster potential with Nintendo prioritising unique gameplay experiences. That being said, they are a business and entitled to monetise their content as they see fit. No one's got a gun to our heads to sell our old devices. Plus, they did pave the way as has been mentioned.
Honestly, they need to update the joysticks to be able to handle minute movements just like the PS5 or Xbox
Plz just play it safe. The switch is the final form of gaming handhelds
Ture. Looking forward to swith 2. Hoping the joy con Don't drift.
